What I like:
- It's affordable.
- One bottle lasted for a few months.
- Small amount can cover up my entire face.
- It doesn't give a "heavy" feeling on the skin upon applying.
What I Don't Like:
- I don't like its packaging 'coz it's boxy and crystal-ish. hehe
- It has three shades available, which can force you to buy two shades (mix those), if you find that yours doesn't fit any of it.
- It has a coconut smell but it's tolerable actually. I just don't like it. :)
- It's heavy (packaging) so I don't prefer carrying it around in my bag.
- It still makes my face oily.
My Verdict:
This product is a so-so for me. I have super duper oily skin; oil still manages to see through even when I'm in an air-conditioned place when used alone. *sob* When I saw Maricarl Janah's review on her YouTube channel, I decided to try it out because she also has oily skin. Janah's raving about this foundation, so it made me more eager to check it out. I'm a little bit disappointed with this, because I still get oily a few hours after application. I need to have several blotting and re-touches (powder foundation).
Anyway, if you have a dry skin and prefers matte finish for a foundation, I'd recommend this. However, if you're oily-skinned, you can still try this. It might work for you! Lastly, if you're looking for an affordable liquid foundation, especially when you're just starting out with make-up, this is actually a nice grab.
